Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell passed away in May 2017 and the band's remaining members have not yet commented on if they'll attempt to carry on or not. In an interview with Rolling Stone, guitarist Kim Thayil, drummer Matt Cameron and bassist Ben Shepherd discuss everything from the recent statue of Cornell unveiled in Seattle to how they've been dealing with life after Chris's death.
In the interview, Cameron and Shepard say Soundgarden's remaining trio might get together at some point to try something, but they haven't really even hung out much as a trio yet.
“We’re just still taking our time and giving ourselves space to process everything,” Cameron said. “We would certainly love to try to continue to do something, figure out something to do together.”
“On a personal level,” Shepard said, “We haven’t even gotten a chance to hang out, just us three, yet. … We’re going through natural healing, then thinking about the natural next step.”
It'll be interesting to see if the trio does end up carrying on and how they choose to do so. Would they go back out under the Soundgarden name? Or would they rebrand themselves completely and go with a new lead singer?
